General Mills Utilizes LGV System for Just-in-Time Delivery
Minneapolis-based General Mills wanted to provide just-in-time (JIT) delivery to its docks from its Cedar Rapids, Iowa, plant. After evaluating several alternatives, it was determined that a laser guided vehicle (LGV) system could provide the necessary solution.
The system needed to take into account safety as well as cost efficiencies. The vehicles would use the latest laser technology to determine objects in the vehicle’s path and stop automatically until the path was cleared.
